During a meeting of the "Ala-Too" parliamentary group of the Jogorku Kenesh, eighth convocation MP Mavlyuda Kalberdieva raised the issue of the prolonged construction of the Bar-Bulak—Safarovka road. According to her, crushed stone spreading was carried out at night before the president's arrival to avoid unnecessary questions, but the process was stopped afterward.
"Out of 25 km, 8 km is done, 17 km is not done. When they said the president was coming, they spread crushed stone all night so people wouldn't ask questions. That's how the crushed stone was left."
Reasons for delay and current work status
Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications of the Kyrgyz Republic Baktyluu Mombekov explained that the contractor has received full funding, but the pace of construction has slowed due to the need to erect engineering structures. Specifically, the construction of two bridges and three galleries must be completed on the section.

In addition, the MP drew attention to problems in the Bagysh ayyl okmotu, where local roads and the landscape are suffering due to railway construction. Kalberdieva noted that sand and crushed stone are being taken out of the region, and hills used for grazing livestock have been leveled.
Other road facilities in Manas
The ministry also provided information on the progress of work on other sections in the Manas area. Completion of the facilities is planned for next year.
